The ill remarks made to Dr. Oby about her looks, are a typical example of what really happens to our young girls in the society, ranging from harsh remarks to physical harassment.

Dr. Oby, being unmoved by these remarks encourages the girl-child to also be strong and focus on more important and profitable things than beauty.
